I’ve been looking for the newspaper clipping with my friend Lt. Ike Garza of SAPD Homicide in the photo.

Jimmy Johnson’s Playland comes to San Antonio and holds its grand opening in its first location at 223 N. St. Mary’s Street.

Interesting address for Playland. It was probably a small operation, I guess. I know the next year (1942) Jimmy Johnson opened Playland at 3900 N. St. Mary’s, opposite the Sunken Garden near the Zoo but didn’t stay there long as it was controversial and then of course the following year (1943) opened the one most of us remember at Broadway and N. Alamo.

The South Loop 13 Drive-In Theater, the fifth in the city, opens with “The Outlaw”.
May be a tad confusing, but it was the 5th for Statewide Drive-in theaters. There were at least 8 others before the South Loop 13 opened.
Fred. Rd. (1940)
Alamo (1946)
Trail (1946)
Mission (1948)
San Pedro (1948)
Kelly (1949)
Varsity (1949)
Hi-Park (March 15, 1950)
Rigsby (April 14, 1950)
